Nagai Hikaru's Ke Xuexing

Chapter 286 Rice Flower Goods

"Brother Karasuma." Ayumi, Himiko and Haibara Ai stood at the entrance of the mall and greeted Karasuma Akimitsu happily.

Karasuma Akimitsu, who was wearing a navy blue kimono, was wearing a monocle today, and her hair was tied in a low ponytail that hung down on the right side. Next to her stood Haba Shiro, who was wearing a black suit, and her ponytail was also much longer, hanging down on the right side of her chest.

"Brother Karasuma looks so handsome today. Is he going to grow his hair long?" asked Himiko obediently.

"Yeah, I plan to keep it longer."

"Hikari!" Suzuki Sonoko happily trotted a few steps to him and took his arm. "That's great. That kid Conan isn't here today. Let's go shopping and have a good time all day."

"Is there anything wrong, Conan?" asked Bai Yuba.

"I have an appointment with the professor. I think we agreed to watch some detective drama together." Haibara Ai answered while holding Karasuma Akimitsu's other hand.

"I haven't been to the Mika Department Store for a while. Let's go to the cake shop on the fourth floor and have some cake." Karasuma Akimitsu looked around, took Huihara Ai's hand, smiled down at her and said, "Let's go show Ayumi and Miyuki their dresses for the piano competition first."

"It's just a piano recital, there's no competition." Himimiyuki said shyly.

"By the way, Xiaoguang is also learning piano, right? I haven't seen you play the piano for a long time." Suzuki Sonoko looked at Karasuma Akimitsu.

"Yeah, I haven't played it since..."

Suzuki Sonoko thought about it and said, "Indeed, there is no piano in Kudo's house."

Haku Haneba tilted his head to look at Karasuma Akimitsu and found that his expression did not change and he did not seem to care.

“I don’t like musical instruments.”

"What about the guitar?" asked Suzuki Sonoko.

Karasuma Akimitsu blinked and smiled, "The guitar... is quite interesting." He then looked at his hand that was held by Suzuki Sonoko, "The guitar callus is gone."

Suzuki Sonoko stopped and looked at Karasuma Akimitsu seriously: "Do you remember?"

"Ok?"

"Have you remembered everything?"

"Ah... probably." Karasuma Akimitsu nodded.

Suddenly, Hababai grabbed a hand that stretched out from behind and asked, "What are you doing?"

Karasuma Akimitsu turned his head and saw a man in a black cloak having his right wrist grabbed by Haba Haku.

The man in the black cloak wanted to retract his hand, but was held back by Habashiro and could not move: "Let go! You misplaced soul!"

Hanaba Haku frowned: "Girl?"

Karasuma Akimitsu noticed the hair sticking out from under the cloak: "Koizumi Akako?"

"Oh, you are really paying attention to me." Koizumi Hongzi lifted the hood of her cloak, revealing her face.

"It's obviously you who's following me." Karasuma Akimitsu took a step back and moved a little further away from her. "Were you trying to steal my hair just now?"

Koizumi Hongzi broke free of Haba Haku's hand on her wrist and snorted, "Are you afraid of my ability? You do know something about witches. Did Kidd tell you that?"

"He didn't say much." Karasuma Akimitsu looked at Koizumi Hongzi, "Did you make a mistake? I don't think I have anything to do with the witch clan."

Suzuki Sonoko excitedly pinched Karasuma Akimitsu's arm and said, "Witch? What kind of witch?"

"Your existence will disrupt my life!" Koizumi Hongzi said angrily, "You have taken away my prisoner!"

Karasuma Akimitsu released the hand holding Huibara Ai and raised it to make a pause gesture: "What do you mean? Your captive?"

Koizumi Hongzi raised her hand and made a strange gesture to Haba Shiro: "Am I beautiful?"

Haba Bai was puzzled, and seemed to glance at Karasuma Mingguang reflexively, then nodded and said perfunctorily: "Not bad."

Koizumi Hongzi turned around angrily and looked at Karasuma Mingguang: "Look! In this world, except Kidd, no one can refuse to love me!"

Karasuma Akimitsu laughed dryly: "No, Miss Hongzi, I think this person... is probably too old to be your prey?"

"So what? All the men in the world should fall in love with me." Koizumi Akako crossed her arms and raised her chin.

Suzuki Sonoko also curled her lips: "This woman... is she a witch? Why do I feel that she is more like someone with a mental problem."

Karasuma Akimitsu slowly pulled away Suzuki Sonoko's hand, walked to Koizumi Hongzi, took her hand in her shocked eyes, smiled and bent down to kiss the back of her hand: "I am also a man, what if I am willing to fall for you?"

Koizumi Hongzi stared at Karasuma Mingguang in a daze, then suddenly retracted her hand and stepped back several steps: "You...you are..."

"Look, if you're angry that I took your captive, then I'm willing to be your captive." Karasuma Akimitsu raised his head and smiled at her, "Lord Hongzi, what do you want? Wealth? Status? Power?"

From this angle, Koizumi Akako saw that Karasuma Akimitsu's face was hopelessly perfect. His blond hair gleamed under the overly bright lights of the mall. His single-lens eyeglasses were gold-framed, just like Kaito Kid's, and a small sapphire hung from the golden chain next to it. When Karasuma Akimitsu lowered his head just now, it swayed with his hair and shone along with his azure pupils.

"Or... what you want is my true love's kiss?" Karasuma Akimitsu took a few steps forward, shortening the distance between his and Koizumi Akako's face. Their azure blue and ochre red eyes met. Koizumi Akako felt an electric current running through her back to her brain, and her face turned red in an instant.

"You! You!" After shouting twice, Koizumi Hongzi didn't know what to say next, but her feet had already quickly taken her back a few steps. She covered her chest and yelled at Karasuma Akimitsu, "You actually used charm on me? Do you think I'm one of those mortals who can be fooled by your appearance? I...I won't let you go!"

After yelling all this, Koizumi Hongzi realized that everyone around the mall turned around to look at her. She gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, pulled up the hood of her cloak, turned around, pushed away the onlookers behind her, and fled the scene at high speed.

Karasuma Akimitsu shrugged, turned to Suzuki Sonoko and said, "He ran away."

Suzuki Sonoko looked at Karasuma Akimitsu and said, "You...how could you say such a chuunibyou line?"

"Chuuni vs Chuuni, it's reasonable." Karasuma Akimitsu spread his hands, walked to Haba Haku, and looked at him curiously, "Just now when Koizumi Hongzi asked you if she was beautiful, how did you feel?"

Hanabashiro blushed: "No...I don't feel anything."

Karasuma Akimitsu was puzzled: "Didn't you feel dizzy or something?"

"...I just don't know why I suddenly want to see you." Hashiro Yuba shifted his gaze to the side.

Huiyuan Ai looked up at the side for a long time before she pressed her fingers to her forehead and sighed like a little adult: "That witch, does she think that people who like her sister won't like her anymore, so she hates you?"

Himeyuki and Ayumi were unresponsive throughout the whole process.

Suzuki Sonoko thought this was extremely dramatic: "I am dying of laughter. Is this woman out of her mind? Is she asking the magic mirror, magic mirror, who is the most beautiful woman in the world, like Snow White's mother did? And then the magic mirror told her that there is someone more beautiful than her..."

Karasuma Akimitsu adjusted his bangs and said, "Who knows? If there really is such a mirror, I will definitely ask for the future lottery winning numbers first. This will verify whether the mirror can really give the correct answer."

Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, the people around gradually dispersed, but there were still a few sporadic sounds of shutter clicks.

Bai Yuba looked over with a sharp gaze, and several people's faces changed and they left quickly.

Karasuma Mingguang patted Haba Haku's hand soothingly: "It's okay, I'm used to it these days, let them take pictures as they please."

"But……"

"Sometimes prohibition can make information spread faster." Karasuma Akimitsu pointed in the direction of the elevator, "Let's go to the fifth floor to look at the dresses first. Don't let inexplicable people disturb our original schedule."

"What do you mean when you said she tried to steal your hair just now?" Suzuki Sonoko and Karasuma Akimitsu walked towards the elevator together.

"Use my hair to make a cursed doll?" Karasuma Akimitsu answered casually, "Kid was done that by her before."

"Lord Kidd was cursed by her?!" Suzuki Sonoko said in surprise.

"Yeah, but she didn't do anything to Kidd afterwards. By the way, Kidd is going to take action tonight, aren't you going to watch?"

"What action?"

Karasuma Akimitsu took out his phone and did a basic search before frowning, "Did the media not receive the news?"

Haba Haku replied, "For private collections of gems, we may ask the Second Investigation Section to keep them secret and not disclose the information to the media. We fear that they may attract the attention of other criminals."

"Eh? You mean that Mr. Kidd has a secret operation tonight?" Suzuki Sonoko held onto Karasuma Akimitsu, "Then how did you know?"

Karasuma Akimitsu clenched his fist and clapped his hands: "By the way, Fusae also has a new children's dress. Let's go and show it to Miyuki."

"Don't change the subject! How do you know about Lord Kidd that even the media doesn't know? Also, how do you even know that Lord Kidd was cursed?" Several people finally walked into the elevator together.

Koizumi Hongzi, who ran to the other side of the mall, covered herself with a cloak and held a crystal ball, gritting her teeth and saying, "This is too much. His charm is so strong that it works on me. Is this the effect of the nationwide charm aura?"

A short old man rubbed his hands next to him and said, "Ms. Hongzi, I didn't expect that this evil woman is actually a man. The ceremony is ready. Did you get the hair or personal belongings of that person just now, Miss Hongzi?"

"..." Koizumi Hongzi blushed, "I...I will definitely get it next time."

"But it's really strange, a man's evil woman, can he still use magic?" asked the short old man.

"Black magic is different from red magic. It is not limited by gender. The world-famous killer spider is a master of black magic. The black magic that this evil woman is good at must be charm. He is obviously a man..." Koizumi Hongzi looked at the crystal ball, which reflected the face of Karasuma Akimitsu. He was holding up a little girl with brown hair and walked out of the elevator side by side with a man with long black hair.

"Kid... was able to refuse to be my prisoner at that time, it must be because he had a relationship with this evil woman a long time ago. Before that, the evil woman hid under the light of the Demon of Light, and I didn't even notice her existence." Koizumi Hongzi bit her nails, "I will not give up easily!"
